honestly imo it speeds up rather than slowing down cuz of higher speeds and RP modifiers… but that could just be my memory of the old times…
Yeah, my friend has grinded 54000 RP in a day whilst I suffered in Tu2S 44. I am kinda jealous.

Well, this thread can be locked now. The Su-25SM3 is at 12.7 for GRB, so there isn’t really much else you can do to it, other than perhaps giving other countries better SPAA (which isn’t likely going to happen anyways).
That crown belongs to USSR players.
Without artifical buffs and technology difference they are nothing, Strv-122 and Leopard2A7V are the living proof for that.
But who am i talking to? You’re the guy who keeps claiming Abrams are useless in real life and throwing random bs left and right.

Yes, but 11.7=12.7 for ground realistic, you only get 11.7, sure, but there is no difference since the SPAAs can do just as little. Unless there is further stretch of the ground tech tree.

Well, 10.7 games meant that only a maximum of 4x 11.7 SPAAs could be spawned in. This means that if those 4 people decide not to spawn in an 11.7 SPAA, the SU-25SM3s would’ve had an even greater influence over the battlefield, as they wouldn’t have to launch from ~15km away from the battlefield, and instead wreak havoc on at a quicker rate (you can launch more in quick succession, and more freely outside of the lesser ranges of the weaker SPAAs).
But yeah, the Kh-38s, regardless of what BR the Su-25SM3 will be, will still beat most, if not all SPAAs.
i bet an American touched you inappropriately.

It’s a TREMENDOUS difference. The elephant in the room that is flying over many terminally grounded players heads is the only players at matchmaking points greater than the highest BR tanks are players who have a high BR aircraft on the lineup. SPAAGs take a backseat to 12.0+ aircraft that are the SOLE reason why anyone is in a matchmaking bracket 12 or above.
Yes, but 11.7s can see 12.7s all the time. I was also complaining a lot about Q5L being at 10.7, it is the worst CAS plane at the 10.7BR with no flares or AA missiles. It has maximum of two 500 kg guided bombs, with no ability to bomb bases in air realistic to obtain the guided bombs.
At 9.7 it was literally undefeatable. It deserves every bit of its 10.7 BR it has now.
Yeah because something that had some level of hull armor can ruined their win-rate so hard despite having overall line up batter than both
that show apes level of skills there
What are you talking about, two 500kg guided bombs is all it is. It’s not like I can do supersonic bombing or something. The A10 at the same BR has much higher payload and weapons, whilst I have to use 23mm guns to fight AIM9Ms. It’s not the A5, which has the AAMs, so its just an air target for free, no flares, no AAM, any anti-air at 10.0 or above can easily kill me.
Important reminder that the Q5L is supersonic and the A-10 is not, bombload or otherwise you can still move with the Q5L while you cannot with the A-10 series.
Yes the Q5L lacks countermeasures, but saying it is vastly inferior to the A-10 is not true in GRB as countermeasures will not defeat anything but IR SAMs which are not the primary concern in the 10.0 to 10.3 bracket, which is where SACLOS missiles come to be. You can only defeat a SACLOS missile via using your aircraft’s flight performance and the A-10, unless you are keen on spending 30 minutes climbing, will not be able to reach the same level of safety against such missiles that the Q5L can due to it’s superior flight performance.

Two 500kg guided bombs it can drop from 8km altitude, where it was INVULNERABLE to pretty much anything else because SPAAs only had Stingers (which can’t reach you) or the Korean War-era aircraft which wouldn’t be able to keep up with you anyway.
Big difference there.
A reminder, your greatest enemy as an A10 is the STRELA, it is a IR SAM. It is very easy to obtain the modifications for A-10 since you can bomb bases and use AAMs to a certain extend in ARB, whilst the Q5L has to dog fight everyone with 2 23mm guns. The A10 also enjoys the AGM65, where the Q5L is limited to 2 kills at a time with guided bombs.
Nope its the 2S6, the Strela kills everything equally yet struggles hitting targets on the deck, which is where you should be flying the A-10, if you aren’t you are doing it wrong.
My dude, every single other aircraft that bombs bases at 10.0 or 10.3 are 3 to 4 times faster than the A-10, at no point should you be trying to bomb bases as a A-10 unless you have a death wish.
No you bomb bases with the Q5L, rocking 6 250kg bombs and 2 500kg bombs, you have CCIP and the ability to go over mach one, which is mandatory to have any chance to hit a base before you die.
The AGM-65 with it’s HEAT warhead is the worst F&F plane ATGM in the game because it has no overpressure.
And said bombs can overpressure anything while the AGM-65 fails to do so against unarmored targets and commonly fails to generate enough spall to kill said soft targets to begin with.
To that same end laser guided bombs will always be superior against moving targets when compared to the currently implemented F&F weapons, the A-6 TRAM is a glowing example of this.

The Q5L can not fully bomb a base as far as I am concerned, and without the RP, there is no point risking diving for the base and getting killed. I am just complaining about the payload, the lack of AA ability and the lack of flares that have been proven many times. The flare problem drives me mad, when the developers try and argue that there are no photos for Q5Ls with flares, but the same logic applies with that not all variants of SU25 has been proven with flares.
You have a large enough bomb load to destroy one base and the ability to fly at above mach 1, you fly it like a thud which also is fast and faces AAMs without flares.
Understandable, yet, remember the primary issue with the A-10 is that some props can outspeed it which greatly reduces it’s ability to fight in general, meanwhile the Q5L is mach 1 capable, vastly superior by comparison.
Exactly how I feel about the thud, but at the same time it is a fantastic aircraft, if it could face just a tiny bit less AAMs it would be just so nice.
Frankly the SU-25s are just painful to fight in general, if in the end you can get the Q5L flares I am all for it, but as it stands the presence of the LGBs + it’s flight performance is what is kicking it up BR wise.
Heck remember that the that one Alpha jet that has 2 LGBs and no flares is also recently going up in BR as well, gaijin is putting way too much stock in anti ground weapons when it comes to ARB, the Q5L should be vastly lower BR wise in ARB, if not the same BR as the likes of the first mig-21s, GRB wise it can be another story and there is tech available for gaijin to do that now.
However as we all know now gaijin is uptiering functionally everything in GRB and not moving anything that needs to go down in ARB so that may be a pipe dream now.
The BR is for GRB though, and I have to physically return to base every two kills, which is not even guaranteed, I think 8-250kg bombs will be just shy of a base, or can it actually destroy one by bringing the 500kg on the wings. The 10.7 BR has plenty of IR SAMs and it is quite annoying for me to dodge them without flares especially the strela.
I don’t believe you just typed this… you dont even have a A-10 let alone any craft at top tier or anything at top tier, that can bomb bases why are you even typing ?
